Chapter 92
Although the black-haired girl was still scared to death by the monster just now, fortunately, there was someone by her side. She stood up with the help of the wall amidst the words of encouragement and the will to survive.
Lu Jiamu walked over and roughly flipped through the bones that fell out of the pipe. Seeing that there were no keys or other objects inside and the bones were incomplete, he jumped onto the table and gently pried the pipe open.
Although he was much weaker than Coleman, the pipe had already been bent downward significantly. He shook it a few times and something else slipped out of the pipe.
There were more bones, some hospital tools, and medical records that were old enough to be brittle.
Lu Jiamu shook the ventilation duct again, and seeing that nothing more fell out, he jumped off the table and rummaged through the pile of bones, eventually finding an inconspicuous key.
The person who swallowed the key has really become a skeleton in this pipe.
The bones were so scattered that it would take more time to piece them together and identify them. He took a quick look and picked up the key. He then went to get the medical record and quickly flipped through it while standing there.
This is a new medical record book. The front is still the real medical record, but the back half is written by someone unknown, describing the writer's subsequent experiences in the hospital in a messy manner.
It covers every detail and the word order is often confusing, often quickly switching from what sound was heard or who said what to the longing for the peaceful life that was once there, as well as many words of confession.
Perhaps the writer's mentality has completely deteriorated due to hunger and hopelessness, and he can only rely on continuous writing to make ends meet.
On the last few pages it says:
[They had been clamoring to go to other wards, but when we actually asked them to go with us, they got scared. What a bunch of cowards.
It doesn't matter if they don't come or not... We didn't want to bring them with us in the first place. If you don't know how to create opportunities, you will end up dead!
It's been so long, and no one has come to rescue us, and no one has given us any explanation. But those people should have left. There's no reason for them to stay here. They must have left.
I'll be out in no time! I'll be out. If we just try harder!]
But their bones were now scattered quietly on the ground, indicating that they obviously did not succeed in getting out.
These people must have been starving for a long time in their last moments, and they were so thin that only skin and bones were left. Although the ventilation duct was very narrow, they were still able to squeeze in.
Lu Jiamu glanced at the bones, then turned to the next page:
[They turned into monsters, and we were only away for half a day.
Those people outside didn't leave either. What did we do wrong?
We can't get out or down, so we're stuck in this tube. Damn it.
In the past, I even complained about my wife’s bad cooking and my daughter’s noisy behavior. Now, my biggest wish is to go home.
If I still have a chance]
There are no more records after that. Not long after he wrote these, he died of thirst or starvation. But he did not turn into a monster after death.
There is no way out of here.
The black-haired girl stood up and quietly huddled against the wall waiting for him, not daring to make a sound.
Having picked up the key, Lu Jiamu put away the medical record book and looked outside.
Most of the monsters in the corridor had been attracted by the sound of Coleman's running and were chasing him. The sound they made coming out of the toilet did not attract any attention.
Seeing that there were no monsters around, Lu Jiamu immediately ran out of the toilet quietly.
His mindless behavior of rushing forward gave the black-haired girl great courage. When she saw him running, she was no longer afraid and followed him with gritted teeth.
Coleman had been caught up by the monster several times, but her physical fitness was strong enough that she would not be really hurt even if she was attacked.
On the contrary, the monsters had no vision, and during the chase, their pointed limbs kept scraping against the walls, making noises and confusing themselves, and soon they became a mess again.
Coleman gradually slowed down his pace, and when the monsters fell into chaos, he took the opportunity to sneak back.
Seeing the two people who had also returned, he whispered, "Where's the key? Did you find it?"
Lu Jiamu nodded and took out the key that he had found in the skeleton.
When they saw the key, everyone fell into silence.
The monster outside was agitated for a long time because of the noise it made before it stopped and continued to wander slowly and meaninglessly in the corridor.
Now that they have the key, they don't need to rush to leave the corridor and can take a rest first.
After all, the monsters in this corridor are only sensitive to sound and actually have no vision. As long as they don't make any sound, they are safe.
And there are beds here.
The group of people quietly chose a clean bed and prepared to rest for a while.
But they all knew that they couldn't stay here for too long because the hospital had no water or food.
When they searched just now, they saw only some high-concentration alcohol in the cabinet. They didn't know if drinking this would cause more serious side effects.
Without drinkable water, they had to leave the hospital within three or four days, otherwise they would die of dehydration. Moreover, their physical strength would surely decrease as they became hungry and thirsty.
After resting in bed for an hour, several people gestured to each other to indicate that it was time to set off.
They took the key and quietly walked out of the room. The monsters in the corridor were still wandering slowly and randomly.
Several people came to the iron door blocking the next ward and slowly and carefully inserted the key into the keyhole.
The key went into the lock successfully. It was really this key.
Lu Jiamu turned the door very gently, but it still made a click sound.
The monsters in the corridor all turned around.
As soon as he opened the door, several people rushed in.
The monster moved very quickly and appeared beside them in an instant, waving its slender limbs to scratch the door. The sharp noise attracted the attention of more monsters, and the door was banging.
Fortunately, the "iron gate was indestructible" and was not torn apart in a short while.
Coleman was afraid that he couldn't hold the door by himself, so he also reached out to press the door, giving him a chance to lock it.
The sharp scratching and banging sounds had not stopped yet, but the door had been locked. A few people were afraid of attracting new monsters, so they immediately moved away from the door.
Lu Jiamu looked forward and saw that the door leading to the next area was still locked.
The light bulb closest to them, which had a bad connection, began to flicker.
An old lady with a wrinkled face and swollen body walked out of the room. She opened her mouth to reveal a row of sharp fangs, which made a clicking sound when she bit them. She bit towards them and asked in a strange voice: "Have you seen... my teeth? My teeth are hidden..."
